Amid many of the announcements that sparked conflicting opinions on Tuesday, the iPhone’s twill strap. After Slack’s back and forth, my colleague Zach McAuliffe and I decided to present our respective points and allow you to be judges.

Have you ever walked down the street to meet your friends, navigate with Google Maps, and text your friends to let them know you’re late, and suddenly: BAM! A playboy on the mop blew over the highway and removed the phone from your hand before you even had the chance to realize what was going on?
In London, this theft happens every day, although I have never personally happened, and whenever I set foot on the streets of the British capital, I immediately remain vigilant and alert.
Earlier this year guardian According to the report, survey data from US insurance company Squaretrade shows that 39% of all European mobile phone thefts were conducted in the UK, while 42% of British mobile phone thefts occurred in London. So common is that your phone is snatched away by a cyclist or mop that the Metropolitan Police in London issued special preventive guidance, which includes:[when using your phone,] Stay away from the roadside, near buildings or walls, so no one can walk behind you. ”
I know off-road is not a fail-safe way to prevent iPhone theft. I would never suggest someone walking around the city in a happy ignorance, and their cell phones are not entitled to their own body. But I do agree that it is a way to resist opportunists on both wheels.
I can see other times come in handy too. Often on traveling, I find myself on a boat, grabbing the railings and taking pictures on my phone as the world passes. Always in this case, I feared that only a clumsy swipe could see my precious phone heading on the Titanic’s ocean road. A cross-belt will keep peace of mind at such a moment to protect me from my own idiots.
As a clumsy guy who fears that his phone will be stolen, I will invest in one of Apple’s iPhones. I personally can only see the benefits of sticking my phone to my body and hands.
Terrible Idea: Zach McAuliffe, Staff Writer
When I saw Apple’s new boob strap for iPhone, my first thought was: “I bet someone could easily cut out and steal someone else’s iPhone.”
But Apple will definitely think of this and choose a distance-resistant belt made of similar items Dyneemacorrect? No. according to applethe strap is made of recycled PET (polyterephthalate) yarn. If you are not familiar with this yarn, it is synthetic fibers made from recycled plastic bottles.
If you have a razor or something like a sharp edge, you can cut the belt through butter like a hot knife. Then, nothing can stop you from taking your iPhone. The decision to hang a thousand dollar device in a condition that is not resistant to drug-resistant plastic has caused me a lot of anxiety.
some people reddit Said they had off-road bags and purses stolen, and it did happen because someone cut the belt and ran or rode. Of course, someone snatched the phone from your hands. But if I use my iPhone as a bag, I’m advertising saying I have an iPhone, all you have to do is follow me for a second to cut the belt and pair it with it.
Plus, if my iPhone is tied to me with a belt, then my handling is probably even more fanatical. The belts and corresponding cases are designed to ensure the safety of the equipment, so I might think it might hurt things in the world. What if a car kicks the rock up and hits it, or I hit the metal railing a little too hard or anything happens and my iPhone will have new scratches or cracks?
No, I would rather grab my iPhone, just as my life is in my hands depends on it. I then slipped my iPhone into my pocket to make sure I saved it for a circle like the Bilbo Baggins.
A chest strap is a bad idea. I know people have things all the time, but the strap is like wearing the iPhone logo around your neck, and a quick cut might be yours! Hopefully Apple will make distance-resistant belts in the future.
